I'm currently on Lexapro which helps a lot with my anxiety, but getting out of bed in the mornings is still a struggle. I've been thinking about adding Wellbutrin to my med combo, did you try that? Wellbutrin is supposed to be stimulating and also has anti-depressant effects.

(Even if it's something like going to rent a video.) Please keep us posted on your progress...we'd all love to see you take pleasure in getting out of bed!

> K.Hi,
Thank you for the kind words. I have tried Wellbutrin several times but I get a really annoying ringing sensation in my ears from it. I feel lucky in that I see an excellent psychiatrist for meds and therapy. A real rarity these days. The meds have been really tough.
